Karnowski added 17 points, 12 in the second half, and seven rebounds for Gonzaga (22-4, 12-1 West Coast Conference).

“I thought he was really good in the second half,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. “I challenged him a little bit at halftime, and I thought he was very, very good in the second half. Good deep post touches, delivering in there.”

Pangos made four of Gonzaga’s 10 three-pointers and Stockton had five assists and three steals to help the Bulldogs rebound after a 60-54 loss at Memphis on Saturday.

Stacy Davis scored 14 points for Pepperdine (14-12, 7-7).

Pepperdine last beat the Bulldogs on Jan. 18, 2002 and hasn’t won in Spokane since the 1997-98 season.

Pepperdine managed just two points in the first three minutes of the second half. But the Waves got it turned around with a 15-4 run to pull within 54-50. Stockton ended the stretch with a momentum-changing three-pointer.
